Key risk factors

• Potential conflicts of interest from nominal founder share purchase price

  “The low price that our Sponsor, executive officers and directors (directly or indirectly) paid for the founder shares creates an incentive whereby our officers and directors could potentially make a substantial profit even if we select an acquisition target that subsequently declines in value and is unprofitable for public shareholders.”

• Sponsor and insider financial incentives may bias business combination selection

  “Since our Sponsor, officers and directors, and any other holders of our founder shares, including any non-managing Sponsor investors, may lose their entire investment in us if our initial business combination is not completed (other than with respect to public shares they may acquire during or after this offering), a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for our initial business combination.”

• Material dilution to public shareholders from founder share conversion

  “Because our Sponsor and our independent directors acquired the founder shares at a nominal price ($0.003 per share) and certain of our officers acquired the founder shares at $0.50 per share, our public shareholders will incur an immediate and substantial dilution upon the closing of this offering, assuming no value is ascribed to the warrants included in the units.”

• Affiliated entities' purchases may reduce public float and available cash

  “This participation by affiliated entities may reduce the available public float of our securities, which could limit liquidity in the market for our units, Class A ordinary shares, or warrants following the offering.”

• Possible business combination approval without majority public shareholder support

  “If the affiliated funds purchase the full amount of the units for which they have expressed an interest and vote in favor of an initial business combination, we may not need any public shares sold to other investors in this offering to be voted in favor of the initial business combination.”

• Anti-dilution rights may cause greater than one-to-one founder share conversion

  “The Class A ordinary shares issuable in connection with the conversion of the founder shares (including those issued in connection with an increase in the size of the offering) may ultimately result in material dilution to our public shareholders due to the anti-dilution rights of our founder shares that may result in an issuance of Class A ordinary shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion.”
